Dr. Dunston's Lecture

This past week Dr. Dunston delivered a powerful and important message to us about the human genome. She explained that the human genome is the history of mankind and therefore the history of all black people because mankind begins with us. According to Dr. Dunston, the human genome is the key to recovering our lost culture, and the history that has been distorted by the historians of the west. Dr. Dunston led us to understand that the human genome is our DNA and that we all are 99 percent the same. This means that the only thing that makes us different from one another is one percent, this to me means that many of our disagreements based on race and ethnicity are petty and unnecessary. Dr. Dunston's lecture was insightful and I am glad I was there to receive such an important message.
